Using the Socratic method, what is the PMHNPs best response?
The PMHNP is having a therapy session with Charlotte, a 20-year-old victim of date rape. The patient states, “I shouldn’t have been there; I should have just gone home. This was all my fault; how could I have been so stupid?” Using the Socratic method, what is the PMHNP’s best response?
| A. | “If this had happened to someone else with the exact same circumstances, would you say this was her fault?” | |
| B. | “Can you recall exactly what stopped you from going home when you originally wanted to go home?” | |
| C. | ”Have you shared these thoughts about what you should have done with anybody other than me?” | |
| D. | “Do you understand that there is absolutely nothing that you could ever do to deserve to be treated the way you were treated?” |
